Established in 1988, ISYS Search Software is a supplier of enterprise search software for information access, management and re-use. The company markets and sells a suite of embedded search, mobile access and information management infrastructure technologies.
ISYS previously marketed and sold enterprise search applications that included ISYS:desktop, ISYS:web and ISYS:sdk. ISYS products are most often compared to the Verity Ultraseek product or the Google Search Appliance, while its infrastructure and embedded search applications compete more closely with Autonomy and FAST Search & Transfer (now a subsidiary of Microsoft). The ISYS engine is capable of searching multiple disparate data sources, including Microsoft Office, WordPerfect, Open Office, HTML, ZIP files, all major email products, all SQLdata sources, SharePoint, Lotus Notes and Lotus Domino.
Some of ISYS's content mining capabilities include automatic Categorization, entity extraction, parametric search, Hit-highlighting and navigation, relevance ranking and multiple query methods.
In 2006, ISYS released version 8 which includes automatic entity recognition for text mining, e-discovery and expertise location, federated searching and more formats.
In 2007, ISYS entered the Linux marketplace with the release of the ISYS:sdk and ISYS:web server for Linux platforms, the company’s first foray into non-Windows environments.
In 2008, ISYS version 9 was released, which includes enhanced e-discovery support, results flagging, intelligent query expansion, custom search forms, parametric and timeline refinement. Also, support for EMC Documentum, Interwoven WorkSite, Office 2007.
